What is the devil’s Bible?

The devil’s Bible is a name given to a 13th century manuscript also known as Codex Gigas (or Giant Book). The name “Devil’s Bible” came about because of a large illustration of the devil it contains (shown below).(Of course, there is nothing in the Bible that supports this image of the devil, or even the existence of a supernatural devil.)

The book is the largest medieval manuscript in the world and contains many documents other than the Bible, all written in Latin.
